Create your own Barbie

Barbie doll fans and collectors... I have got news for you if you have not already heard... Mattel has introduced the first Barbie customisation experience in Southeast Asia – Barbie: Create Your Own.

I am so excited about it having grown up with Barbie and even had my daughters growing up with that iconic doll everyone knows.... Don't you think it is fun getting to create your own doll.. choose the outfit you like and shoes you want...

Barbie: Create Your Own allows girls of all ages, from the little ones to the grown up ones who are still a kid at heart, the chance to use the endless possibilities of their imagination to customise their brand new Barbie, one that they can call their own.

I was at Sunway Pyramid (LG 2, Orange Concourse) yesterday with my mini me, and she made her own Barbie then at the road show there..... anyway, this roadshow will be on until 28th May 2017, 10am to 10pm and then it will be headed to be held across 3 other locations: Mid Valley (1st – 4th June), KLCC (8th – 11th June) and One Utama (14th – 18th June).

So mark your dates and head to your nearest and most convenient roadshow to make your own personalized Barbie...

At Barbie: Create Your Own, you will be given a catalogue where you can select the type of Barbie doll you like and style it with a wide range of fashion pieces such as dresses, tops, skirts, pants and shoes.

Of course, it does not end there, you can also pick playsets and accessories for their customised Barbie doll.

The fun part is of these customised Barbie doll comes in a special packaging printed with the name of its creator.

In support of Barbie’s philosophy of “a woman has choices,” as said by Ruth Handler, the creator of Barbie, Barbie: Create Your Own is basically designed to help girls realise that, through imagining and creating their own Barbie world, they have choices in their world and can be anything they want to.

Its aim is to ultimately, through choices and creativity, help girls feel empowered and confident in themselves.

Other interesting activities exclusively held at Sunway Pyramid for the Barbie: Create Your Own event include a Barbie colouring contest as well as storytelling workshop

where girls can learn from a creative storyteller how to bring their Barbie world to life.
